What is my Home Worth?
 

 
Have you ever relied on your Tax Assesement to know your Home's value?
 
 
Maybe you've searched online Ads or Home Listing Websites for House Values?
 
A client recently asked me why Zillow had her home listed as being worth only $228k; she paid $379k 9yrs ago.  She went on to say, she click on a "Home Values" site for a free estimate, they had her homes' value at $180k! And the sales comps they used dated back to 2012 & 2013, so she knew it wasn't even near recent market value!  I told her not to worry, these online sites are rarely the actual market value.  
 
DO NOT DESPAIR!  
 
I pulled comps for her neighborhood and called her back.  Listen I said, "the market is down, but it's also coming back....so based on the recent sales of smaller or less comparable homes in your neighborhood and the improvements you made to the home, I know realistically I could list it for $299k....YES, $100k less."  The heartbreaking part is all the work they had to do to bring the 1950's home up to date; New Kitchen, New Appliances, New Open Floor Plan, Removed Carpeting & ... more
